- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, combine 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 6 medium), 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (add 2 teaspoons extra flour if using frozen), ½ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
